A 14-gauge copper wire has a diameter of 1.628 mm. What magnitude current flows when the drift velocity is 1.00 mm/s? (See above example on Example 20.3 for useful information.)
When a straight wire is heated, its resistance changes according to the equation R = R0 [1 + (T T0)] (Eq. 17.7), where is the temperature coefficient of resistivity. (a) Show that a more precise result, which includes the length and area of a wire change when it is heated, is R=R0[1+(TT0)][1+(TT0)][1+2(TT0)] where is the coefficient of linear expansion. (See Topic 10.) (b) Compare the two results for a 2.00-m-long copper wire of radius 0.100 mm, starting at 20.0C and heated to 100.0C.
Residential building codes typically require the use of 12-gauge copper wire (diameter 0.205 cm) for wiring receptacles. Such circuits carry currents as large as 20.0 A. If a wire of smaller diameter (with a higher gauge number) carried that much current, the wire could rise to a high temperature and cause a fire. (a) Calculate the rate at which internal energy is produced in 1.00 m of 12-gauge copper wire carrying 20.0 A. (b) Repeat the calculation for a 12-gauge aluminum wire. (c) Explain whether a 12-gauge aluminum wire would be as safe as a copper wire.

Consider the circuit below. The battery has an emf of = 30.00 V and an internal resistance of r = 1,00 . (a) Find the equivalent resistance of the circuit and the current out of the battery. (b) Find the current through each resistor, (c) Find die potential drop across each resistor, (d) Find the power dissipated by each resistor, (e) Find the total power supplied by the batteries.
Check Your Understanding Handheld calculators often use small solar cells to supply the energy required to complete the calculations needed to complete your next physics exam. The current needed to run your calculator can be as small as 0.30 mA. How long would it take for 1.00 C of charge to flow from the solar cells? Can solar cells be used, instead of batteries, to stall traditional internal combustion engines presently used in most cars and trucks?
The power dissipated in a resistor is given by P = V2/R, which means power decreases if resistance increases. Yet this power is also given by P = I2R, which means power increases if resistance increases. Explain why there is no contradiction here.
Find the current through a person and identify the likely effect on her if she touches a 120-V ac source: (a) if she is standing on a rubber mat and offers a total resistance of 300 k (b) if she is standing barefoot on wet grass and has a resistance of only 4000 k .
The severity of a shock depends on die magnitude of the current through your body. Would you prefer to be in series or in parallel with a resistance, such as the heating element of a toaster, if you were shocked by it? Explain.
Review. When a straight wire is warmed, its resistance is given by R = R0,[1 + a(T T0)] according to Equation 27.20, where a is the temperature coefficient of resistivity. This expression needs to be modified if we include the change in dimensions of the wire due to thermal expansion. For a copper wire of radius 0.100 0 mm and length 2.000 m, find its resistance at 100.0C, including the effects of both thermal expansion and temperature variation of resistivity. Assume the coefficients are known to four significant figures.
A rechargeable battery has an emf of 13.2 V and an internal resistance of 0.850 . It is charged by a 14.7-V power supply for a time interval of 1.80 h. Alter charging, the battery returns to its original state as it delivers a constant current to a load resistor over 7.30 h. Find the efficiency of the battery as an energy storage device. (The efficiency here is defined as the energy delivered to the load during discharge divided by the energy delivered by the 14.7-V power supply during the charging process.)
A 0.50-W, 220- resistor carries the maximumcurrent possible without damaging the resistor. If the current were reduced to half the value, what would be the power consumed?
